Pine Tree
This flag was in use 1775-1777. It was officially adopted by the
Massachusetts Navy in April 1776. It flew over the floating
batteries which sailed down the Charles River to attack
British-held Boston. This flag is the jack form of the "Bunker
Hill" flag. On October 20, 1775, Colonel Joseph Reed, Washington's
military secretary, recommended that this flag be put into general
usage so that American ships could recognize one another. The
"Pine Tree Flag" is a generic name for a number of flags used by
Massachusetts and by New England from 1686 to 1776.
